If it's possi ble for partner to pass his hand then it's mandatory that you raise to! two spades. Dear Mr. Wolff: Opening leader leads the king of a side-suit and third hand ponders be-i fore playing a very high card. Is opening leader entitled to read this! as a suit-preference signal rather-than a come-on? Options, Nashville, TennJ Dear Mr.

Wolff: Recently we played a spade game that was doubled. Declarer revoked during play and won two tricks after the revoke occurred. The opponents claimed a four-trick penalty instead of two, because of the double. Is there any basis to that claim? Doable Fault, Cor pas Chrlitl, Texas ANSWER: No, there is not. The revoke penalty is not affected by doubles or redoubles.

Dear Mr. Wolff: At duplicate I made a light takeout double of one heart, and next hand redoubled. Partner bid one spade, passed to the redoubler, who bid two hearts. Partner bid two spades, passed again to the redoubler, who bid three hearts. After two passes, was I justified in pushing once more with K-9-6, A-10-7-5, K-10-9-6-2? We were not vulnerable and partner did bid twice.

Cold Bottom, New Orleans, La. ANSWER: Absolutely not. You had used up all your values when you made the takeout double. After that, Dear Mr. Wolff: Partner opened two no-trump (22-24 HCP) and I used Stayman.

He responded in hearts and I jumped to four no-trump. Was my jump a quantitative raise or was it Blackwood? Bad Result, Sacramento, Calif. ANSWER: Most would treat this sequence as a quantitative raise. To reduce misunderstandings of this type, it's best to use the four-club Gerber ace-asking convention when the first or last bid was made in no-trump. Dear Mr.

Wolff: At duplicate I opened one diamond in third chair with J-9-5, K-J-10-3, A-10-6-2, A-5. Partner responded one spade, and since he had passed originally, I passed also. He made a game, holding five spades a WHITE MATES IN 2 Whit movi Hoffman, a lawyer from a family with a background in radio and theater, has long been fascinated by the Fischer phenomena and its TV and film potential. "Now is the time to tell Fischer's story," says Hoffman. "Twenty years is a long time for Fischer to be out of the public eye.

He is one of the few important prodigies America has produced an authentic genius, the Mozart of chess. "Seemingly brash and self-confident, Fischer is a loner who struggled to achieve greatness against enormous odds. America loves the underdog. Although curiously, Fischer was even more of a hero to Russians than Americans. "In the '50s and '60s there was a crisis in American education.

We had an inferiority complex vis-avis the Russians. Remember Sputnik? "The Russians placed enormous importance on their chess prowess, and suddenly there was an American chess genius able to compete with them, on their own terms. His victory was a shock to their cultural nervous system." Hoffman praises Brady for his ability to capture the milieu in which Fischer developed. "The book describes skillfully," he explains, "what it was like to play chess as Fischer grew up." Below is a win by ex-world champion Anatoly Karpov over the Russian grandmaster Yevgeny Bareyev from the 1991 Tilburg ANSWER: No, he is not.

Brady, i long-time friend of Fischer, played a major role on the American chess scene as editor, writer and organizer during Fischer's formative years. But despite his own involvement, he manages a remarkably restrained and objective account of the Brooklyn chess genius.
